PS. Tiger mom la. I know the kid preferred WashU and did a lot of research. But who has money, who is the boss, Mum chose BU and she couldn't say "no" ... what a pity.

Yes, it is more difficult to be admitted to the top top top US colleges nowadays. That is why I am impressed with the 2013 admission list of HKIS.
I think if you compare with the admission list of the top IS and LPCUWC in Hong Kong, the placements are more or less the same as HKIS.

I agree it is pity that your friend's daughter could not make the choice herself.

With all due respect, this is a very impressive admission list indeed.

Swarthmore, Sarah Lawerence, Cal Tech, Carnagie Mellon, LSE, Wellesley, Mount Holyoke, Dartmouth, Pomona, Smith, Emerson, and many many more.

It would be the envy of any top prestigous high schools in the world.

For the avoidance of doubt of my bias:  I do not know anyone who goes to HKIS.  I do not even know where it is.  But I do have a preference for Liberal Arts Colleges.

香港好多人對美國大學一 d 都唔熟，聽來聽去個幾間，其他就以為係差大學。
其實睇 university acceptance ...

Not an acceptance list, only an offer list.

An elite can have more than 5 great offers, but only take one offer finally. The list only reflect part of the story or truth, same for other schools.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Nowadays it is very difficult to get 2 to 3 great offers. If it does, the number of students would not be many, say around 10.
Usually, the applicants would make application to 3 dream schools (the offers are great), 3 to 4 reach schools and 3 to 4 safety schools.

Further, if one intends to study in the USA, he would normally focus on the USA applications and would not make applications to UK or Canada. Again, the number of students holding great offers from UK, Canada and the USA colleges is not many.

I believe the admission list fairly reflect the performance of the students as a whole.

I think it is a good list and HKIS has good placement. I don't think the original poster implied that HKIS was not doing well but rather it was just others reading too much into the question.

I agree with you that the placements are very impressive. However, the original poster had been amended, I could not read what it said at the beginning. Anyway, the parents in this forum only share their views and have no intention to belittle others. If any comment is rendered, I think the comment should be fair comment.

Be honest, it's impressive and transparent results.
I wish all schools announce their students' achievement just HKIS and LPCUWC. The best is with final placement.

I think the only good one missing is GSIS?

HKIS used to publish the matriculation list until 2011.
Perhaps due to the privacy problem, they stopped the practice of publishing the matriculation list since 2012. However they publish the matriculation list based on 3 years period. You can check their matriculation list at their website.

Sorry, I initially posted HKIS link with a few sentences, but got a reply in Chinese which I couldn't read, so just deleted and left just link for your information.
I thought it could be useful for some parents who want to send kids to IS.
I think HKIS's collage acceptance is quite good!!

I tried to attach 2012 college acceptance (Matriculants) from GSIS! But don't know how. It's not link, just screen shot image.. how can I paste image in here?

點評

HKTHK I think there is a button that allows you to add images at the top of the edit box? 發表於 13-6-13 12:31

bobbycheung Just a thought. Perhaps you need to do some editing if the screen shot image shows the names of the students. 發表於 13-6-12 12:38

Not saying HKIS' college acceptances aren't extraordinary, but quite a number of students at HKIS have legacy, which makes it a bit easier for them to get in...

Legacy only plays a part in case of borderline case. Even so, if your parents do not make donations each year consistently for ten plus years, I think legacy is useless.
Development office cases have edges. However, the number of development office case is not many each year. Maybe there are one to three cases in a typical year.

If you read the average SAT and AP scores for their website, you will know why their acceptance list is so impressive as said by some posters here.
